From the technical point of view, the most important development carried out during this period have been the following:
- Several communication protocols have been analysed.
- Wardiam Perimeter have been optimized for its integration into large infrastructures.
- In order to integrate Ethernet communications, increase the device ruggedness and add the new controlled magnetic sensor, a new hardware has been developed.
- The video tracking algorithm has been improved, defining a new software architecture with filters that enhance the recognition of intruders with bad conditions.
- Further, an application that allows the visualization of the system information and state has been developed.
- Several installations have been deployed and different tests have been performed in all of them. Response of the system has been studied and characterize the changes obtained in it.
- An exploratory analysis of the database has been made, analysing its size, structure, variables and experiments individually.
- From these work, different patterns have been extrapolated from each behaviour, and also the influence of vegetation and noise on the sensor’s signal have been studied.
- Algorithms that classify each event have been hugely improved using machine learning techniques. This new approach of include artificial intelligence in the signal processing, has reported a lot of advantages.
- We have worked on the process of product optimization for its mass production, and the certification process, in order to get the homologation according to the CE mark and the UNE-EN 50131 and UNE-EN 50130 standard, related to intrusionand hold-up systems.
- The certification process for EU regulations has concluded satisfactorily and the product is ready to be launched to the UE market.
- Regarding US regulations, FCC mark has been obtained and UL certification process have been started.
Regarding the communication tasks, the main activities carried out have been the following:
- Wardiam Perimeter website and social media networks has been updated with news.
- Promotional documentation as datasheets, quickguides and manuals and a promotional video have been made. Also merchandising material as tshirts, pendrives… have been manufactured.
- Two articles based on the technology developed in the project has been written. None of them have been published due to patent processes.
- 4 press releases related to the project have been launched.
- Several meetings with potential clients, including demo at Ontech showrooms, have taken place.
- Two more expositors have been built in order to improve data collection as well as to show Wardiam Perimeter advantages to potential clients.
- Two workshops with people from the University and Emasesa has taken place.
- Ontech has attended four trade fairs of security technology worldwide.
- Ontech has become a member of the following associations: SIA, RIH and AES.
Finally, periodical meetings for technical and strategic coordination have taken place and reports for deliverables and other management tasks have been made.
